Bermuda Triangle: Ship Reappears 90 Years After Going Missing

Havana| The Cuban Coast Guard announced this morning, that they had intercepted an unmanned ship heading for the island, which is presumed to be the SS Cotopaxi, a tramp steamer which vanished in December 1925 and has since been connected to the legend of the Bermuda Triangle. The Cuban authorities

The Cuban authorities spotted the ship for the first time on May 16, near a restricted military zone, west of Havana. They made many unsuccessful attempts to communicate with the crew and finally mobilized three patrol boats to intercept it.

When they reached it, they were surprised to find that the ship was actually a nearly 100-year old steamer identified as the Cotopaxi, a name famously associated with the legend of the Bermuda Triangle.

i will say that this coronavirus scare has definitely revealed that minimum-wage service workers are absolutely instrumental for society to function… all the hoity-toity business meetings can be cancelled, the NBA can be cancelled, public schools and colleges can be cancelled, government meetings can be cancelled, but the checkout line at the grocery store can’t be cancelled… in a perfect world i’d hope that this was a bellwether for better treatment of workers like me but i know we’ll just continue to get paid min wage with no rewards or thank-yous from the world during this time lolololol

With all the insanity of people hoarding needless things leaving out those who need it and rich people not giving a shit about the health of others causing many to fall ill and cities to shut down, we need some uplifting news.

Me realising that the Finnish word for concussion is aivotärähdys (i.e. brain vibration/jolt).... 🤯 I hadn't even realised this thing specifically affected the brain. This led my bf to come up with the conspiracy theory that finnish education system is so "good" because the language is so literal, so everyone understands what is going on. By the way, conspiracy is salaliitto (secret alliance). Another good one is expedition, which is löytöretki (finding trip).

men brag about the absolute wildest shit. my coworker’s like, “some people use their iphones as TOYS, it’s a toy to them, they just play games and go on social media. MY phone is all BUSINESS” like naturally completely unprompted. good to know! did you also take a piss this morning? was it a better piss than everyone else’s, with superior precision?

Hey young followers? Don’t fucking do this.

This is not about us. You’re gonna get other people killed.

It’s inconvinient. It sucks. I hate that I can’t go see my parents and my friends. I deal with it, because this is not about us. Protect vulnerable people, stay at home.

THANK YOU

Staying home is a preventative action.

Kids, I live in the middle of China.  And guess what?  It’s on the decline here, because travel was shut the fuck down, and people have been self-quarantining and staying home.  Stay home.  And I’m not saying that because I’m a doomsday fear-monger.

Do you know why self-quarantining works?  Because the incubation period is anywhere from one to two weeks.  You could be a carrier long before you know you have it.  You can leave your home, catch it from another carrier, and go about your life spreading it to others for a solid fourteen days.  And everyone knows that aeroplanes are just flying Petri dishes.  You’re at risk of transmission on a plane, and you’re at risk of transmitting for much longer than most of you may realize.

The virus is travelling at an exponential rate because of this incubation period.  When it reaches where you live, no one will know for two weeks.  People will be passing it around for two weeks.  And then the cases will crop up, and when they do, your healthcare systems will be overwhelmed.  Your neighbours will be treated in hallways and waiting rooms.  There will be limited resources, limited oxygen machines, limited kits.  Doctors and nurses will be pushed to breaking point, and they will exhaust themselves.  And as I’ve seen here, some of them will die as a consequence.  And the elderly and the immunocompromised will be at risk of dying.

But you can help this.  By staying the fuck home like the goddamn CDC says.  Go out only if it’s necessary.  For work, for groceries, for doctor visits.  If your job allows you to work from home, do it.  Travel only in emergencies.  Stay home.  Don’t put yourself or others at risk.

Here’s a graph!

See those flat lines?  Those are Chinese provinces, where the virus could have been exponential, but people were quick to distance themselves and stay home, so it hasn’t been exponential. There haven’t been that many new cases.  And, yeah, it was government-enforced.  It also worked.

So when your CDC advises social distancing because your government can’t constitutionally enforce it? Do it.  Just fucking do it.  Look at the graph.  And do it.

I know it sucks.  But someone else’s right to LIVE is greater than your right to a cheap plane ticket and a weekend away.

We’re going to survive this.  And you increase how many of us will by staying home.

Staying home is not a fear reaction.

Staying home is a preventative action.

My (British) mum and dad just turned up in Finland for the first time and are apparently in shock at how “unexpectedly modern” Helsinki is… given that my grandma thinks Finland is a Soviet country I’m bracing myself for a solid week of absolutely hilarious takes as they realise that some places are indeed slightly better run than the UK

[valilihapiirakka]

Day 1: they have asked me what almost every single sign in Tampere means, terrorised several shop assistants with “EXCUSE ME MISS, WHAT IS A (pauses to read ‘maito’) MEITUU?”, and expressed amazement at the fact everything is so clean 7 or 8 times. Also turns out that my grandma wasn’t the only one convinced the “SF” on the map stood for “Soviet Finland”, my dad wanted to know how long it was part of the USSR for

[valilihapiirakka]

Day 2: took my mum to the munkkikahvila, the cashier was like 50-something so it was easier to stand there and translate between them, when I translated my mum’s request for a whole bag of the doughnuts she heard “ja yks munkkipussi…” and yelled “MONKEY PUSSY????” loud enough for the entire café to hear

Explained to my dad today that Estonia and the other Baltic states are not north of Finland (I am not sure where he thought they were?)

The amount of times I’ve said “anteeks, mun vanhemmat ei osaa suomea” is rising by the hour

[valilihapiirakka]

Day 3: took my parents to Rajaportti sauna and spent 45 minutes watching my dad yelp and run out every time someone threw more on the kiuas, my mum instantly disappeared and emerged an hour later looking very pink to say “the Finnish ladies are very nice but there’s an old woman in there beating herself with STICKS!”

I think they liked it actually! Most successful day so far

[valilihapiirakka]

Success of day 3 slightly redacted, my dad tried to start an argument with a waitress about whether it was illegal to charge for water, I have once again taken advantage of being able to say “anteeks mun isästä” without him understanding

[valilihapiirakka]

We did not meet on day 4, but day 5: they met my flatmate Satu for the first time and hugged them tightly as a greeting. The look of utter Finnish horror and confusion on Satu’s face as my mum, then my dad, went in for it was exactly what you’re imagining

They have discovered drying cupboards exist and have had an absolute meltdown of joy over the concept

[valilihapiirakka]

Day 6 was the last one and our parting interaction was quite positive! My dad may have referred to going back to the Pyynikki munkkikahvila for a final “monkey pussy” as an “ethnic experience” and started to look uncomfortable about Hints Of Socialism when I told him my union pays for me to go to school, but still they’ve decided this is indeed a normal and nice country I’m not crazy for moving to! Good job, mum and dad!

[katzynia]

“The look of utter Finnish horror and confusion” …I feel you Satu, in solidarity, deep in my heart.

Finland has too many weird sports. Can you guess which one of them is not an actual sport here? (People living in Finland are disqualified for knowing too much lol.)
